Same movie how many devices to stream at the same time

Well-known member
Kscape allows how many devices to stream same movie at the same time? Does it make any less quality or any issues?
 
Taken from the Knowledge Base:
"Kaleidescape Strato systems are comprised of Terra and Strato movie servers, each movie server can distribute the following number of simultaneous playback streams:


TERRA (FULL SIZE, 2RU) ​

  • Up to 10 streams for 4K resolution (HDR or UHD formats)
  • Up to 15 streams for HD resolution
  • Up to 50 streams for SD resolution

The number of simultaneous 4K streams is potentially lower than ten when all playbacks are being streamed from the same hard drive of a full size Terra server. A single Terra hard drive can only support 5 simultaneous streams at 4K resolution.

When designing a large system, full size Terra servers are recommended. One Terra server should be added for every 8-10 playback zones to maximize the simultaneous 4K playback performance. This should be specified at system build. Performance is improved because downloaded movies are equally distributed across all hard drives on all Terra servers in a system. Up to five Terra servers can be grouped into a single system.


TERRA (COMPACT, 1RU, HALF-WIDTH) ​

  • Up to 5 streams for 4K resolution (HDR or UHD formats)
  • Up to 10 streams for HD resolution
  • Up to 20 streams for SD resolution

STRATO​

Strato players with storage are limited to serving two simultaneous 4K streams, one for the player itself and one to a player in another viewing zone of the same system. "

Quality is not compromised by multiple streams. (given the network can handle the load)

Thanks. I have compact Terra 24tb. So, it is 5 streams. I am assuming it can stream same movie at the same time for 5 streams without loosing any quality.
